More...

Chamomile might look dainty, but don’t be fooled - this little flower is a heavyweight in the herbal world. A calming tea, a digestive anti-inflammatory, a skin soother, and even a pollinator magnet in the garden - chamomile does it all.

Its funky blue essential oil is a prized ingredient in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, while its sweet, apple-like aroma has charmed herbalists and cooks for centuries. (It’s even used to flavour lemonades and lemon sorbets!) In the language of flowers, chamomile represents strength through resistance, inspired by the old English proverb:

“Like a chamomile bed, the more it is trodden, the more it will spread.”

A long, long history

Chamomile’s story stretches back thousands of years - literally. Traces of it, alongside yarrow, were found in the teeth of Neanderthals from 50,000 years ago. The Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians loved it for digestion, fevers, and calming the nerves. By the 16th century, chamomile was so popular that botanist Hieronymus Bock wrote there was nothing left to add - everyone already knew chamomile as the cure-all herb.

German physician Leonhart Fuchs prescribed it for everything from flatulence to jaundice to fevers, while others brewed it into soup for constipation and menstrual pain, or infused it in oil for wound care.

Why we still love it today

Chamomile is one of the world’s most trusted nervines - herbs that calm the nervous system. It’s famous for:

• Easing anxiety, stress, and tension
• Encouraging restful sleep(it's renowned as nature’s bedtime tea)
• Relaxing digestive spasms and soothing IBS, colitis, ulcers, bloating, and indigestion
• Soothing minor skin issues such as sunburn, rashes, and wounds when used topically

How does it work?

Chamomile is rich in volatile oils such as apigenin , thought to bind to calming receptors in the brain (similar to how some sleep medications work, but far gentler). Its antispasmodic action relaxes smooth muscles in the digestive tract, easing cramps and discomfort, while its mild bitterness supports healthy digestion and appetite.

It’s so safe and gentle that chamomile tea is often given to children and babies for colic and tummy upsets - and it’s still one of the most widely used herbal teas in the world.

From calming frayed nerves to settling the stomach, chamomile is endlessly soothing.

We use chamomile across many of our gut blends and for its anxiolytic actions - you'll find it in our BiomeTonic , CalmTonic , ColicTonic , GutBitters , MellowMare , PollenTonic , StressTonic & UlsaTonic blends.
